This study compared the gender-related inferences and judgments of elementary school children (N = 542) of 2 different age groups (3rd graders and 5th graders) from 2 different cultures: Taiwan, a traditional collectivistic culture, and Israel, an individualistic and less traditional culture. The children were presented with 4 stories, 2 about a male target and 2 about a female target with either traditionally masculine or traditionally feminine interests, and were asked to make cognitive and emotional-motivational inferences and judgments about them. Culture played an important role in children's gender-related inferences and judgments. Specifically, Taiwanese children distinguished more than did Israeli children between male targets behaving stereotypically and counterstereotypically. The findings are analyzed within the framework of the differences between the 2 cultures.
本研究比较了来自两种不同文化背景的两个不同年龄组（三年级和五年级）的小学生（N = 542）的性别相关推理和判断：台湾，一个传统的集体主义文化地区；以色列，一个个人主义且不太传统的文化地区。向孩子们呈现了4个故事，其中2个关于男性目标人物，2个关于具有传统男性或传统女性兴趣的女性目标人物，并要求他们对这些人物进行认知和情感动机方面的推理和判断。文化在儿童的性别相关推理和判断中起着重要作用。具体而言，台湾儿童比以色列儿童更能区分表现出刻板行为和反刻板行为的男性目标人物。研究结果在两种文化差异的框架内进行了分析。
